You Choose! The Winning Story!

KKK Poster in School Lobby
An Illinois mom posted a picture on Facebook of the KKK poster in the lobby of Greenfield Central High School in Greenfield, Illinois.  The poster shows a Klu Klux Klan member in full garb and a burning cross.  The school says the poster is actually promoting a play about the evils of racism.  via WISH

Breathalyzer Required for School Dance
A breathalyzer required for a school dance?   The Sweetheart Dance at Medina High School in Ohio is causing quite a stink.  Kids will be required to test for alcohol before being allowed.  They are also banned from wearing risque clothing and dirty dancing.  The school says they've had a problem with kids showing up to dances drunk.  via WJW

Glow-in-the-Dark Surfing
The glow-in-the-dark surfer!  According to WIRED.com, this is Mark Visser surfing Hawaii's famous Jaws Break which usually has waves of 30 to 40 feet high.  Mark strapped on lighting to his body and his surfboard.  There were also helicopters above shooting light onto the wave.  The result?  Some of the best surfing video you've ever seen.  via WIRED

    The only truly informative and of educational value is the story concerning KKK posters in schools. This should be a no-brainer; sunlight is the best disinfectant, and the KKK issue just needs to be eradicated.

    KKK poster in school lobby is my vote.

    Breathalyzers at school dances were a requirement at my high school for every single dance I attended and the funds for them were required to be provided by the leadership class, or class (9th-12th) that put on the dance.

    Surely I'd like to hear about the KKK poster. It would have been more interesting if you would have included what "type" of school the poster was at. If it was a school for the KKK, then I would think that it was "normal" to have a poster on campus, thus rendering it not intersting. However, if the KKK was marketing itself at non-KKK school's then it's surely makes for a good topic. I'm just sayin'.

    KKK poster in school. Im not surprised...only in America can we practice or believe in what we want. But more importantly..only in America can
    we all see the positive changes that we've made including the laws made to make sure that hate crimes are not tolerated in America. These and other laws that we have to follow is why we have an African American President. not a Member of the Ku Klux Klan. Thumbs down for any degree of racism or discrimination.

    As a Former Marine once stationed at Camp Pendleton, many of us took up surfing as a hobby, or as a wave workout.
    We spent a lot of time training on how not to be seen at night. It would be interesting for me now, to see how this new technology helps people be seen.
